That's pointless in 2 ways.

1) Why would one use saslauthd to use sasldb as the backend? I know,
some platforms compile saslauthd in that way, but Fedora/RHEL never did
so. Using saslauthd you can't use shared secret auth mechanisms, while
using auxprop with sasldb you can do so. Obvious what you lose with
saslauthd -a sasldb.

2) Your default Fedora SASL setup is using saslauthd -a pam. No sasldb
involved. As long as you do not feed /etc/sasldb2 sasldblistusers2 will
not print out user infos.

Jeff, did you verify using testsaslauthd? If you are sure you face a
bug, then please feed a report on bugzilla.redhat.com.

Alexander
